Hi! I vaguely remember the issue was discussed before, though we could not reproduce internally. Try using Inventor Reset Utilities (All Programs -> Autodesk -> Inventor 20xx -> Tools -> Inventor Reset Utilitied). It will reset all Inventor settings back to install default.

What is the screen resolution and DPI setting?

Many thanks!

Hi Craig,

 

This issue was reported as INVGEN-29561, which has been fixed on 2020.1 update. You are probably on 2019 or 2018. The fix is not yet available there. I will need to check with the project team and see if it can be ported back.

Many thanks!

I am on 2019. I have never had this issue anywhere else. And if it helps, I first downloaded the 2020 version, but I had the same issue so I downloaded 2019 and it was not any better.

Have you rested your inventor? I think it should work

Hi

What is still happening? I suspect your issue is different from the OP.

Based of your screen captures, hold the CTRL key and use your mouse wheel to change the scale of the text box.
